Well I think I found a decent solution for a 1st level characters henchmen. Its been staring me in the face, and I didn't see it. Till I did. Commoners. Commoners are the perfect henchmen. Not as powerful as the characters, and semi useful. Plus as a bonus, it think that commoners will fit way better into the scenario that I have planned.
Before you ask, no we have still not played. That stupid real life thing keeps getting in the way. Hell as I write this we are waiting a phone call. So that we can go retrieve furniture. Which was supposed to happen soon as I got out of work. But then got bumped back to around seven. Which I'm betting will turn into eight real easy. But whatever. Stay tuned an after action report will follow.
